IFA

Consumer Electronics Unlimited

IFA, Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin, is one of the oldest industrial exhibitions and one of the world's leading trade shows for consumer electronics and home appliances. IFA is an annual event, held in September at the Berlin Exhibition Site in Germany. IFA is organized by The German Association for Entertainment and Communications Electronics (gfu) in cooperation with Messe Berlin.

Since 1924, IFA has regularly taken place in Berlin. Today, with over 200,000 visitors and exhibitors from all over the world, this is the largest consumer electronics fair where both trade experts and the public can marvel at the latest technological developments.

The event offers the opportunity to exhibitors to present their latest products and developments to the general public. As a result of daily reporting in almost all the German media, the exhibition achieves a large spreading of the information – and advertising messages and has also become international. In the course of its history, a large number of world innovations were first seen at the exhibition.

IFA has traditionally provided a platform for discussions about issues of topical interest to the industry and about changing directions in media policy. Consequently visitors obtain detailed technical information from outstanding specialist events and forums with leading figures from the industry.

IFA is equally known for its show programme: The summergarden-stage features famous stars with their latest hits and on the various showstages, you can see nearly everything from cooking show to autograph sessions.
